That’s a negative percent for every hundred pages of legislation they passed attempting to stop this from happening!

“The Kaiser survey’s researchers estimated that only around 1.5 percentage points of the 9 percent increase was tied to provisions of the federal health care overhaul, which mandated changes to plans, including the addition of children up to the age of 26 to their parents’ plans and an end to out-of-pocket costs for certain preventive-care benefits,” writes The Journal.”

Yes, only one percent of the rise was directly due to Obamacare, but every ounce of it was in spite of Obamacare.

Also, like most of Obombercare isn’t in place yet? no one knows anything.

So muppetface or whatever your name is, you’re implying that the 9% increase in healthcare premiums is somehow worse than the double-digit percentage increases they usually have? That’s a fascinating, if ultimately stupid, argument.
